the hero who conquered the dark lord!
I may need to take my laptop into the computer doctor. Laptop, just because I named you Methos, you should not take it as encouragement to repeatedly die and resurrect. Whatever, I am still running my own diagnostics at this stage, and I have successfully saved everything to my externals, so nothing should be lost as it was in The Great Hard Drive Death of Spring '11.
It is also a very convenient time for my laptop to be ill! I mean, there is no convenient time, I will pine if I don't get White Collar on time, and I had nefarious plans to write things this week, but even so. See, I have decided that it is high time to reread Harry Potter! These books have been a part of my life for about thirteen years, goddamn, and since it seems to be HARRY POTTER FEELINGS O'CLOCK right now I am taking advantage of it!
I'm only at the beginning of Philosopher's Stone right now, but oh my gosh, I want to go school shopping with wee Harry, and feed him birthday cake, and explain to him the difference between stalagmites and stalactites, and maybe PROTECT HIM FROM DUMBLEDORE, I swear to god, McGonagall deserves an award for restraint and adult behavior for not breaking Dumbledore's nose yet again when he left Harry on the Dursleys' doorstep. (Also, re: the conversation they have in the first chapter, and McGonagall being completely shattered that the Potters are dead -- I really wish we knew anything about them besides [a] Lily was an angel, James was kind of a dick as a teenager; [b] they were in the Order; [c] ...everyone who is not Snape seems to unconditionally love them both? I want to know what toweringly awesome things they did prior to dying for everyone to be such big fans. #Marauders girl at heart and FOREVER)
I am looking forward to EVERYTHING on this reread, by which I mean overanalyzing the worldbuilding, and caring about Slytherins, and shipping everything, and and and. HARRY POTTER FEELINGS O'CLOCK.

THIS. I've been listening to the audiobooks this summer (finally on HBP, which means I've reached the point at which I haven't read the books since they were published) and spending all my time doing exactly that. Particularly the overanalysis-of-worldbuilding bit, because the audiobooks give me a lot of extra time to think about details that I wouldn't have if I was reading them on my own.
